Alex Kinyua

Morgan State University has agreed to a settlement with a Baltimore man who was partially blinded after being attacked on campus by a student who later told authorities he killed and cannibalized another man.

If Morgan State University had been more open about previous concerns raised about Alex Kinyua, the man Kinyua is accused of attacking at a campus apartment says he might have avoided the engineering student and dodged an attack that left him partially blind.

A Maryland college student accused of killing a housemate and eating his heart and part of his brain was kicked out of an ROTC program after he punched holes in the walls of the cadet computer lab and a military instructor referred to him as a “Virginia Tech waiting to happen,” according to a campus police report months before the attack.
